I can confirm the issue on the OnePlus One on the RC branch

I've dug into it fairly deeply and the Queue table in the SQLite database in /home/phablet/.local/share/com.mikeasoft.podbird/Databases/ gets wiped as soon as the app is closed

What's in the Podcasts table obviously persists because subscriptions are remembered between sessions

When the app is open and episodes have been added to the queue the Queue table in the SQLite db is populated properly, but that data is then lost once the app is closed or the phone rebooted
It makes it very frustrating to use it as a daily driver podcast player

There are several other features I'd judge desirable to add if there's a renewed drive on Podbird development

Happy to help with testing & debugging if I can

@Giiba I've been poking around the code a bit this afternoon. I'm a web developer not an OS / native apps guy so I could be way off, but it certainly looked to me as if clearQueue (which deletes everything from the Queue table) is being called when the app exits

If that's the case, I wonder if that could be tweaked so that it could be controlled from the conf file

a clearQueueOnExit boolean flag

But like I said, I could be misunderstanding the code

@halucigenia Mine too, arriving today apparently

I believe it comes pre-installed with ubports
What state of development it'll be in is less clear
I'm presuming that it'll track the pinephone pretty closely as it's more or less a different form factor for the same internals, but I guess we'll see

@dobey messages set with that app seems to take priority and is the default one displayed

@PhoenixLandPirat
Of course the ideal would be for the current maintainers to push on with the project & fix the bugs, but if they've lost interest they should let the community know so that someone else can take it over or so that it can be forked

For me, and I suspect many others, playing podcasts is an important use case for my device. If development is paused on this and there is no other alternative application available then that's a bad position for UT as a whole to be in

Podcasts.clearQueue() is called as part of Component.onDestruction which I'm assuming is on app closure

Agree with the need for an indicator too
When the connection drops, there is an on screen notification, but it doesn't persist in the notification tray so it's easy to miss

Being unaware your vpn connection has dropped could be potentially dangerous to some users

Also, auto reconnect would be a good feature to have (e.g. when moving between access points)

@PhoenixLandPirat I'm talking about an indication on the bar at the top of the screen, either next to the wifi icon or incorporated into it somehow

Android has the key icon. On UT you have to go digging through the dropdowns to see if it's connected or not.

Yeah I have commented on some of the open bugs, just saw this thread & thought worth raising here too
